Monday evenings often bring a mix of relief and exhaustion. After a busy start to the week, hearts long for peaceful sleep, comfort, and a renewed connection with God. Throughout history, believers have turned to Christian evening prayers as a way to anchor their souls, surrender worries, and find inner peace.
